Lake Chebacco, MA Fishing Report

Last Second Lunker

All I can say is what a crazy day we had. When we first got on the water and saw all the wind we thought it was really gonna be a tough day. We first went to a little cove we saw on the map thinking it would be protected from the wind. As soon as we got there and put down the trolling motor we were getting blown all over the place. I felt bad for Zach because he could barley make a cast without having to try and correct our position. After an hour of trying to fish it with no luck we decided to move on and find somewhere else. We fished our way along the shore still with no luck and fighting the wind, then we found a cove in the north east portion of the lake with a bunch of pads. The wind wasnt as bad so we decided to try there. After an hour or so Zach pulled in our first fish of the day, it was barely 12" but legal so we threw it in the livewell. Soon after Zach caught another a little bigger than the previous one. After that we fished for another hour with no action so we decided to try and move around the lake because maybe the wind had died down. Well we were wrong. The wind and boat traffic were such a pain in the ass for us, we ended up trying a few spots with no luck. We decided to go back to where we knew the wind was less and there were at least a few fish. Around 11:30 after being skunked all day and getting pretty anxious I finally hooked up and it was a nice fish around 3 1/2 lbs. A little while after that we saw a bunch of bait fish jumping out of the water, I threw my worm right in the middle of it and as soon as it sunk I felt my line tighten and I set the the hook hard. It ended up to be a 2lber, at this point we actually thought we might have a chance to get a limit. Around 1pm I caught another one about a 1 1/2lbs. We had our limit and considering how the day started we were pretty happpy about it. For the next 45 min or so we had nothing and I said we should head back soon to weigh in. Zach said 10 more casts each and we would roll. Well with 8 casts to go at about 1:50 I hear Zach say FISH ON!! I quickly grabbed the net and tried to get under it, I couldnt see anything because the sun was right in my eyes and I had dropped my sunglasses. I missed it a couple times but finally got it in the boat. I cant tell you how happy we were when we looked in the net and saw it was another nice 3+lber. We immediately got it in the livewell and headed back to the ramp. A last second lunker and a 2+lb cull, which we found out later put us over the top into 1st place, we couldnt believe it. We still were worried the landlords would come in with a huge bag, but fortunately for us they didnt. All in all it was a very up and down day, with the wind and all the other boat traffic it didnt look like it was gonna be good, but by the end of the day it turned out pretty awesome. Thanks to Johnny, Smoke, and everyone else for all their work as always, these tournaments always are a good time.
